Peroxynitrite, nitrogen dioxide, and other reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that are formed in the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with superoxide anion, and in peroxidase-dependent mechanisms, have a… (More)

1. We examined the role of nitric oxide (NO) in respiratory regulation in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), where L-glutamate release associated with peripheral chemoreceptor activation modulates… (More)

1. An attempt has been made to test the hypothesis that, in the caudal part of nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) where carotid sinus nerve (CSN) afferents project, L-glutamate (Glut) modulates the… (More)

BACKGROUND
Recent studies have suggested that endogenous erythropoietin (Epo) plays an important role in the mobilization of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, it… (More)
